In order to raise users' awareness of sophisticated attacks and scams on digital platforms, the southern branch of VNISA today, May 25, organized a workshop on "Risk warning and prevention of online fraud".
The program was attended by the Department of Information and Communications of Ho Chi Minh City, representatives of state agencies, VNPT Information Security Center and cybersecurity experts from the National Cyber Security Monitoring Center.
The content of supply chain attacks was raised by security expert Nguyen Manh Luat in the discussion section Three dangers of cyber security. In addition, cyber security expert Ngo Minh Hieu also raised these three dangers including ransomware - malicious code demanding ransom; supply chain attacks and artificial intelligence (AI).
In the supply chain attack section, Mr. Luat said that there is a reality that many Vietnamese businesses do not really understand the supply chain. A very common example of a supply chain used by many Vietnamese businesses is accounting software.
Mr. Ngo Vi Dong - Vice President of the Association, President of the Southern VNISA Branch spoke at the workshop
Therefore, just one security flaw discovered in a library used by popular software means that millions, even billions of computers will be affected. In Vietnam, the most well-known case is the fake Unikey download website, a typical example of a supply chain attack.
Discussing solutions for businesses, Mr. Luat said that it is necessary to divide them into two approaches: short/medium term and long term. In the short term, businesses need to regularly check and update security patches, fully back up data, implement multi-factor authentication, and set up monitoring and anti-fraud systems.
In the long term, businesses need to raise awareness and professional capacity of their security teams and employees, consult with knowledgeable experts and invest appropriately in systems to prevent risks from cyber attacks.
